5"1/4 floppy disk drive in modern computer
Hi !
I would like to connect a 5"1/4 disk drive to a modern computer. I tryed to find an IDE interface for 5"1/4 disk drive but failed. Anyone having a solution ? Please don't tell me to use an old computer and use RS232 to transfer data, I really have the need to connect the 5"1/4 flopy disk drive to my current computer. Thanks for your help, -- The author of the freeware multi-tier middleware MidWare The author of the freeware Internet Component Suite (ICS) http://www.overbyte.be |
